There are two main types of boilers that people can choose from for specific applications: water-tube boilers and fire-tube boilers. Of these two types of boilers, water-tube boilers encompass a wider range than fire-tube boilers and are widely used in various industries. Although there are two sides to everything, industrial water tube boiler has their advantages and disadvantages when used in industry.
What is a water tube boiler
A SZS water tube boiler is a boiler in which water circulates in a tube and is heated from the outside by a fire. Fuel is burned in the furnace to produce hot gas, which heats the water in the tubes that produce steam.
Types of water-tube boilers
There are many boilers that belong to water-tube boilers. We offer such boilers, such as packaged gas-oil-water tube boilers, double boiler chain grate boilers, fuel soft coal and biomass circulating fluidized bed boilers, waste heat recovery boilers, etc. You can choose the right type of water tube boiler according to your steam, heating and power applications.
Advantages of water tube boilers
Water tube boiler systems are mainly used in applications where higher steam pressures are required because they can withstand higher pressures in the boiler tubes. In addition, water tube boilers are designed to provide efficient performance, so they can even be used to produce saturated or superheated steam.
Disadvantages of water-tube boilers
Unlike fire-tube boilers, most water-tube boiler systems cannot be produced in packaged form. As a result, their installation procedures at the job site are often difficult and time-consuming. The installation and initial costs of these boiler systems happen to be very high. Compared to fire tube boiler systems, water tube boilers are not physically compact in size. In addition, their cleaning process is quite complicated. In addition, water tube boilers cannot replace tubes due to inconsistent tube design.
